Abstract
The explored area covered the slopes of Bilogora, between the towns Koprivnica and Bjelovar - from the villages Mala Mučna in the west, to the villages Gornji, Srednji and Donji Mosti in the east. The historical data on boundaries between the medieval estates were analyzed in their historical order. First, we analyzed the estates of four notable nobiles praediales noblemen of Rovišće, along the upper streams of Velika and Komarnica, the area covering today’s villages Peščenik, Rovištanci, Hudovljani, Gornja and Donja Velika. It’s followed by description of Mačić "vesnikat" estate (administrative and judiciary functions relating to a settlement, exercised on estates) from year 1270.godine, separated from Rovišće county. This "vesnikat" estate occupied the western part of the researched area, located on the site of today’s villages Mala Mučna, Brđani and Gornji and Donji Maslarci. There are 2 historic documents from the mid-14th century, describing the boundaries of the estates, purchased by ban Nikola "de Lyndwa" whose boundaries partially overlap with the previously mentioned estates, which means that the purchased lands stretched in the same territory north of Velika stream. There’s also a bit newer document, describing the Streza estate boundaries, in the area of today’s villages Pavlin Kloštar and Gornje Sredice.
